Description

Shiviti is a traditional Jewish wall hanging created as a reminder of sacred presence, drawn from the verse “Shiviti Hashem l’negdi tamid” — “I have set the Lord always before me.” This papercut brings that idea into the home through a balanced composition of lions, a Torah crown, and the priestly blessing hand gesture, each symbol adding its own layer of strength, reverence, and blessing.

The lions of Judah bring a sense of courage and continuity, while the Torah crown honors the centrality of Torah in Jewish life. The priestly blessing hand gesture adds a quiet sign of holiness and protection. Together, they create a piece that feels both decorative and devotional—something that can help set apart a prayer space, reading corner, or meaningful wall in the home.

This makes a thoughtful gift for a bar or bat mitzvah, conversion celebration, ordination, or anyone building a more intentional Jewish home. It is a piece meant to be lived with, returning the eye and the heart to what matters most.
